Photo courtesy of the artist. Chicago-based artist Kurt Hentschläger (http://www.kurthentschlager.com/) effectively merges art and science by way of his creative process, which eerily approaches transcendence through calculable technical systems. Using immersive sensory experience as a vehicle, his work is deeply layered and thought-provoking, handling themes of sublimity, consciousness, and human interconnectivity. Hentschläger’s widely exhibited, award-winning work transforms generative 3-D animation and audio technology into mesmeric, penetrating, and highly stimulating illusions that blur math and mystery, science and spirituality. Growing up in a small industrial town in Austria, Hentschläger was exposed to Viennese Actionism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viennese_Actionism) through the thriving punk subculture of the 1970s, which railed against Austria’s stultifying conservative government and its repressive cultural policies. While not completely a part of these artistic and cultural movements, the shocking, confrontational aesthetic of Actionism and the exhilarating, hypnotic experiences of the Punk scene would go on to deeply affect the subject and style of pieces like Cluster (http://www.kurthentschlager.com/portfolio /cluster/cluster.html) and Feed (http://www.kurthentschlager.com/portfolio/feed/feed.html). Cluster is an hour-long, real-time 3D computer animation that portrays group behavior. It primarily features a cluster of amorphous, human-like forms that interact with each other within a dark expanse of empty space. The background is black and vacant except for an outer frame that deflects the movement of the cluster several times as it moves from one place to another on the screen. The cluster travels as it expands and contracts. It changes its density and form, as figures are drawn in and pulled away. The nude figures that Hentschläger creates are generic in form, with few signifying features. The abstract representations of human forms shift our focus from the specific subject of humanity to the subject of biological life. The beings and the process depicted could almost be a colony of microorganisms instead of people. Cluster is a fascinating union of the scientific and the mysterious; it refers to the inscrutable inner workings and structures of the natural world through a highly technological process. Through sound and imagery, Hentschläger creates an immersive presence that interrupts the isolation of the viewer. The audio counterpart that plays during Hentschläger’s visual performance is directly responsive to the generative imagery on screen. Hentschläger utilizes the heavy vibrations of low bass tones to generate a tactile spatiality to the sound. Combined with the visuals, Cluster creates a kinetic, virtual space that immerses the audience in a strange, otherworldly environment. It feels as much internal as it does external. The music moves the artwork itself away from the visual realm of film towards a palpable realm of sensory experience. An unfortunate testimony to the intensity of his work emerged with Feed, a related piece that caused photosensitive epileptic seizures for some of its audience members. This ranged from reactions of disorientation and confusion to traumatic seizures and momentary losses of memory. Kurt Hentschläger, Zee. Photo courtesy of the artist. Hentschläger’s work is part of the emerging interest in collective behavior that is developing across a diverse array of artistic and academic fields. We want to know where else cooperative behavior can be found in society and nature, and why it occurs. What is the biology behind altruistic actions within microbial populations? There must be some evolutionary explanation behind the incidents of self-sacrifice that scientists have observed in bacteria. How do we define the collective power of communities, and the indescribable energy of a group that somehow exceeds the sum of its parts? How do cities form from the social serendipity and collaborative labor of dense populations? What is it that inspires people in close proximity to invariably engage in the highly cooperative task of group organization? In other words, what is the cooperative counterpart to Darwinian competition? In pieces like Cluster, Hentschläger portrays social interconnectivity and collectivism as a manifestation of instinct, in opposition to the familiar characterization of community as a romantic quirk of the human prefrontal cortex. Author Steve Johnson (http://www.theghostmap.com/) similarly describes Victorian London as “a vast organism” in his 2006 book Ghost Map (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11 /12/books/review/Quammen.t.html?pagewanted=all), evoking the idea of a social network as complex as a living, conscious animal. Both artists are examining the fundamental organic mechanism behind communities of organisms. This often forgotten aspect of human nature is becoming increasingly pertinent in a rapidly urbanizing world. As we decide how best to organize ourselves, we have to understand how organizations form in nature. Hentschläger’s piece Zee is an installation that uses stroboscopic light, thick fog, and droning sound to similarly transform a simple room into a strangely undefined otherworldly region. Much like his contemporary, the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson (http://www.olafureliasson.net/index.html), whose large-scale installations put “the body in the mind and the mind in the body,” Hentschläger de-familiarizes participants in a constructed sensory environment. Zee begins with a guide who leads participants into a room with a rope, but then encourages them to wander around freely. In some cases, people experienced hallucinatory visions and many participants compared their experience with Zee to their conceptions of heaven or death. The space itself is a marriage of contradictions in sheer intensity — the participants feel surrounded, but completely alone. They feel entirely aware and And Some See God: Getting to the CORE in the 3D and Immersive Art of Kurt Hentschlaeger Posted: 11/27/2013 8:55 am This is the third in a series on visual artists who have embraced, redefined and subverted the computer-generated imaging (CGI) and 3D-simulation modeling originally developed to compose special effects graphics and animation in mainstream film, video, gaming, and high end advertising. See Part 1 of this series, Projecting the Future of Painting in Claudia Hart's 3D Utopian eScapes; Part 2, Matthew Weinstein: When the Revolution Comes, It Will Be a 3D Animation Entertainment With Art Merchandizing; and Part 4, PostPictures: A New Generation of Pictorial Structuralists is Introduced by New York's bitforms Gallery. Core from Kurt Hentschläger With two November 2013 installations opening the same day -- one at the Paris Nemo Festival and one at the United Arab Emirates' Sharjah Art Foundation -- the reputation of Kurt Hentschlaeger, the Austrian new media visionary now based in Chicago, continues to expand globally. For two decades, Hentschlaeger has been pushing international audiences toward newly-traced boundaries between the synthetic and the natural phenomena alluded to too often and too vaguely as the sublime. Although conventionally called an audio-visual artist, the nomenclature is inadequate for a polysensory maestro who, along with Pierre Huyghe, Ryoji Ikeda, and Olafur Eliasson, is to the installation art of the new millennial generation what Caspar David Friederich and

    DIGITAL ART AND FEMINISM: A SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz 10 DIGITAL ART AND FEMINISM: A SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz Many of the images in this exhibition reveal similar interests, themes, and aesthetics to those seen in feminist Art.1 The artists— (PLOLD)RUVWUHXWHU-HQQLIHU+DOO&ODXGLD+DUW<DHO.DQDUHN-HDQHWWH/RXLH5DQX0XNKHUMHH0DU\%DWHV1HXEDXHU0DULH Sivak, Camille Utterback, Adrianne Wortzel, and Janet Zweig—rely on technology as a tool to explore geopolitics, geological phenomenon, obsolete media, data streams and sets, illusion, shifting identities, phantasmagorias, eroticism, bodies, landscapes, geography, and memory. They are not afraid to confront assumptions or propaganda, even challenging conventions and traditions. They show us diverse, alternate domains and generate narratives of augmented worlds. Common to their artworks is the surreal, employed innovatively and underscored by the radical politics of feminism to change society in order to advance it. It is a kind of new romanticism where the real is meshed with fantasy so that the boundaries between the two dissolve. These artists have created pieces that require the viewer’s time; scanning and experiencing the entirety of their respective works over time transports one to their wild and imagined realms. It is easy to lose one’s bearings with these works because they rely upon mysterious disorientation to the viewer’s prosaic and commonplace experiences. It is a situation that is wholly based on the personal, which has been one of the cornerstone themes of feminist art. Digital art has an inherent feminist issues to it.

After a year of having Ioannis Andriotis, composer and audio engineer. virtually all live music in New York City and elsewhere https://www.andriotismusic.com/ completely shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, we decided that we still wanted to provide an outlet to all Angelo Bello, composer. https://angelobello.net the composers who have continued to write music during this time. That is why we decided to plan another virtual Nathan Bowen, composer, Professor at Moorpark electroacoustic music festival for this year. Last year, College (http://nb23.com/blog/) after having planned a live festival, we had to cancel it and put on everything virtually; this year, we planned to George Brunner, composer, Director of Music go virtual from the start. We hope to be able to resume Technology, Brooklyn College C.U.N.Y. our live concerts in 2022. Daniel Fine, composer, New York City The limitations of a virtual festival meant that we could plan only to do events that could be done through the Travis Garrison, composer, Music Technology faculty at internet. Only stereo music could be played, and only the University of Central Missouri online installations could work. Paper sessions and (http://www.travisgarrison.com) workshops could be done through applications like zoom. We hope to be able to do all of these things in Doug Geers, composer, Professor of Music at Brooklyn person next year, and to resume concerts in full surround College sound.

Courtesy of Sebastian Errazuriz Studio and Audemars Piguet. R: Quayola, detail of Remains #C_021. Courtesy of the Artist and Audemars Piguet. Le Brassus, March 3rd 2018: Audemars Piguet is pleased to unveil the concluding design in a trilogy of lounge concepts by Chilean-born, New York-based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz, alongside new artworks by London-based, Italian visual artist Quayola, at Art Basel in Hong Kong. Errazuriz’s striking design will travel to all three Art Basel shows in 2018, a venue where Audemars Piguet has presented innovative concepts in the Collectors Lounge since 2013. Titled Foundations, Errazuriz’s immersive design for 2018 is based on iron ore, the natural resource at the heart of steel and one of the principal resources for watchmakers. The dynamic installation suspends hundreds of 3D-printed, scanned, and hand-moulded rocks moving in perfect synchrony and evoking the Vallée de Joux, home of Audemars Piguet in the Swiss Jura Mountains. This design evolves from the previous lounge concepts which were inspired by two other core natural materials native to the Vallée de Joux — ice (Ice Cycle, 2016) and wood (Second Nature, 2017). Similarly, Quayola’s new photographic series, titled Remains: Vallée de Joux, unifies the natural roots of Audemars Piguet with his own visual artistry. The work transports viewers to the landscape of the Vallée where Quayola’s visual images were crafted. Throughout 2018, Quayola’s artwork on the lounge will evolve, concluding in December at Art Basel in Miami Beach with the reveal of a new moving-image artwork: Promenade, a video diptych captured through drone technology and high-precision scanning.

  • Bio – Kurt Hentschläger
    Bio – Kurt Hentschläger New York based Austrian artist Kurt Hentschläger creates immersive, audiovisual installations and performances. Between 1992 and 2003 he worked collaboratively within the artist duo "Granular-Synthesis". Hentschläger’s works have characteristically been visceral and immersive, as in ZEE and FEED, with extreme perceptual effects, composed from light, sound and fog. These works physiologically affect the viewer's experience. His real-time generated CLUSTER series builds on the uncanny, by portraying 3D representations of humanoid creatures that can only exist in dynamic flux, seeming to swirl and flow like the wind, apparently unhinged from the screen. His most recent body of cinematic work including MEASURE and ORT is tracing the concept- and appropriation of nature in the Anthropocene. Most recently, in 2017, he premiered SOL, an immersive audiovisual installation in total darkness at Halle Berghain, Berlin and ORT, a public project, a 360 projection onto Oscar Niemeyer’s "Le Volcan" building in the center of Le Havre, France. Selected presentations include the Venice Biennial, the Venice Theater Biennial, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, PS1 New York, FuturePerfekt New York, MAC - Musée d'Art Contemporain Montreal, MAK – Museum of Applied Arts Vienna, National Art, ZKM – Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Museum of China Beijing, National Museum for Contemporary Art Seoul, ICC Tokyo, Arte Alameda Mexico City, MONA – Museum of Old and New Art, Hobart, Tasmania, Sharjah Art, UAE and the Power Station of Art, Shanghai. From 2013-2018 he taught as a full time Visiting Artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. .

  • Ballet Preljocaj & Granular Synthesis
    GRANULAR!SYNTHESIS are audiovisual media artists, that strive to fuse video and sound into one medium where video is sound and vice versa. As an important part of this undertaking they develop real time video software and customized computer configurations, enabling them play video as a musical instrument. With their often symphonic performances and space within space installations GRANULAR!SYNTHESIS create electronic emotion machines, that surround, immerse their audience, overwhelm the human sensory apparatus by massive use of subsonic and penetrating light frequencies, what literally touch the visitors. Kurt Hentschläger (1960) lives in Chicago and New York (USA). Ulf Langheinrich (1960) lives in Dresden (Germany) They have been working together as GRANULAR!SYNTHESIS since 1991. 1991 - 1998 In the chain of a basic audio/video recording, any single frame (containing the sonic information as well as its visual representation) is a media grain available for unlimited copying into new patterns, with the aim of composing artificial assemblies and media structures. If the content of a grain is a sample/scan of real moment it would be prominent and made aware to the viewer in its re-manipulation and displacement. It is this time-based intervention which creates the drama. Time becomes a territory. defined by duration and designed through structures, using cloned fragments within, and so forming a grid, a web, a tissue. The ability to control and manipulate time allows the elements to lose their history and with repeated fragmentation and repetition become mechanical, reasonless and meaningless. Although the public's reception and perception of the work focus on the mirror of the projection and dwell in the drama of the newly stringed images, our other concern is the potential of the machine: Its fundamental capacity to create unlimited variations and to generate structures which seem independent of causal orders.
